Legal Profession:

• Accurate estimates for the number of lawyers in Malawi and the number of believers involved in the legal profession were not available at the time of publication.
• The name of the local Christian group is the Christian Lawyers Association of Malawi, which informally started in 2002.  Two chapters exist: a group in the capital city of Lilongwe meets regularly; the group in Blantyre is not yet organized to the point of having regular meetings.

Major Activities of Christian Lawyers:

• Working to get the Christian Lawyers Association of Malawi registered under the Trustees Incorporation Act.  All the documentation is ready and the leadership anticipates that this will be achieved shortly.
• Regular meetings on Fridays for fellowship; additional functions such as prayer and fasting sessions.

Prayer Items:

• That the group would be able to obtain official registration.
• For an expansion in operations and membership.
• To bring in as many lawyers to the Lord as possible.
